The struggle of the disease is becoming harder. Awareness sucks! Allen says I don't remember nearly half as much as he has to and it is just as hard on him. I am very angry at the disease right now, does that mean I am progressing more? We can see that I am, my memory is worse and our conversations grow shorter. It tears us both up, me because I can't stop what is happening and Allen because he has to watch what is happening. Had I of known this disease was ever going to be a part of my life, I told him that I never would have married him. It is so unfair how it destroys relationships and tears down a once strong, dependable and competent person to an almost stranger in their own home. I try to stay on the postive, but then there is also reality and it doesn't get any better.Take care and God Bless!
